The Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial District, Dino Melaye has described the ruling of the Tribunal, nullifying his election victory in the March 22nd 2019 election and ordering for a fresh election in Kogi West as a total miscarriage of Justice.
It was earlier reported that Melaye polled a total of 85,395 votes to defeat his APC opponent who scored 66,902 votes.
But the APC candidate, Sam Adeyemi, went on to challenge Melaye’s election on three grounds of irregularities, over voting and non-compliance with the electoral act.
On Friday, a three-man panel led by Justice A. O. Chijioke, in a unanimous judgment, accepted Adeyemi’s ground and ordered for a fresh election in the senatorial district.
